New site gives colleges and universities a single source for 21,000 titles from Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, and entire HarperCollins Christian Publishing catalog
NASHVILLE
(October 15, 2026)
HarperCollins Christian Publishing today announced the launch of HarperCollins Christian Academic (www.harpercollinschristianacademic.com), giving colleges and universities access to the company’s catalog of more than 21,000 titles, the largest collection of Christian titles available to universities anywhere.
The collection spans academic textbooks, reference works, Bibles, Christian living books, and leadership titles across every discipline, from biblical studies and theology to the arts and sciences.
For the first time, titles from Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, and the wider HarperCollins Christian Publishing brand are available in one place, curated for higher education. The site was designed with Christian colleges and universities in mind, so their programs can order from a single trusted source. It serves the whole campus with resources for instructors, campus ministry, student life teams, and administrators.
The catalog isn’t limited to Christian schools. Secular universities can find books for religion courses and electives, plus a wide range of bestselling business and leadership titles.
Verified instructors evaluating titles for course adoption can request free exam copies through the site, and universities and other nonprofit organizations qualify for bulk pricing with free shipping.
HarperCollins Christian Academic also offers custom products, including Bibles and books featuring a university’s own logo and branding. These affordable editions give schools a meaningful way to support university initiatives, campus ministry, student life, outreach, and advancement efforts, from freshman welcome gifts and graduation presents to donor appreciation and Giving Day campaigns.
“Universities are shaping the next generation of leaders, and they deserve resources they can trust and a partner who understands their mission,” said Russ Casenhiser, VP, Sales, University and Ministry for HarperCollins Christian Publishing. “Now our entire catalog is in one place, and our team is ready to walk alongside schools as they build and adapt curriculum that helps grow their students and the Kingdom.”
“With a publishing lineage dating back to 1798, our imprints have been serving students and scholars for generations,” said Mark Schoenwald, President and CEO, HarperCollins Christian Publishing. “Bringing our full catalog together for Christian and secular universities means more students will have access to the resources our imprints have been publishing for more than two centuries.”
